Researchers say that camping for a week can reset the biological clock that governs our sleeping patterns.

The scientists argue that modern life disrupts our sleep through exposure to electric light and reduced access to sunlight.

But after spending time in the great outdoors, the researchers say the body clocks of eight volunteers synchronised with sunrise and sunset.

but it doesn't appear to apply to RVs, damn.

I'm not sleeping on the ground again for nobody.
 
I agree with this. Go camping as much as I can, Love it.
 
I guess I'm the exception. When I go camping, I stay up much later at night and sleep much later in the morning. I guess it's the fact that I'm free of stress and just enjoying being outdoors. When I come home from camping, I'm tired. Takes me days to get back to my "normal" sleep pattern.
 
Sounds more like boredom forcing people to bed... Without electronics or artificial light there isn't all that much one can do at night.
I've tried. Badminton in the dark is really hard.

Sure it does, just don't use the lights.
